Department of Animal Control and Protection
Spay/Neuter Policy
It is the policy of this Animal Shelter to have ail animals
spayed/neutered before they are released into the adoptive
home if they are of age to have this surgical procedure
performed.
Dr. James Howard of Eastside Animal Clinic is our staff
veterinarian of record. We will take the animal to Dr.
Howard for this procedure. Eastside will also require a
$10.00 heartworm check on ail dogs. This is a simple
procedure but must be done before the animal has surgery.
You will be responsible for this $10.00 charge when you pick
up the dog. This test is not required for cats.
We suggest that after this surgical procedure you continue
your new pet's medical care with YOUR veterinarian.
If your new pet is not yet old enough to have this procedure
performed, we will give you a voucher dated as to the time
when the animal is old enough and by which time the surgery
must be performed. We would encourage you to take your pet
to your veterinarian when he/she is old enough for this
surgery. Please be aware that we will only pay the voucher
price so you may wish to consult your veterinarian in respect
to any additional charges that he/she may require for this
procedure.
It is NOT the policy of this shelter to recommend a
veterinarian. We feel that it is important that you select a
veterinarian with which you and your pet can be comfortable.
I have read the above statement. I understand and agree to
the policy stated above and am aware that I will be
responsible for the $i0.00 heartworm check on any dog that I
adopt. I understand that this is a necessary test and that
it is performed for my benefit as well as the benefit of the
dog. I also understand that this procedure is not necessary
for cats.
